Blonde Venus

MARLENE DIETRICH is an aspiring young actress who gives up the stage to marry a hopeful scientist (HERBERT MARSHALL). When he's afflicted with radium poisoning that only costly European specialist can cure, Dietrich, now a housewife and mother, returns to cabaret life and meets a wealthy playboy (CARY GRANT) who gives her money for her husband's treatment. In his absence she moves into Grant's grand home with her five year old son (DICKIE MOORE). When Marshall returns cured earlier than expected and discovers her infidelity, Dietrich takes her little boy and flees south. Ultimately realising that life on the run is fruitless, she surrenders the boy to his father and before you can push that fast forward button, she is the biggest star in Paris. � Paramount Publix Corp.
